Professional Development

One of the goals of IIBA™ is to develop our members into better more knowledgeable business analysts. To accomplish this goal, the IIBA™ and the Portland Metro Chapter provides a number of services.

Certified Business Analysis Professional

A Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP™ ) is a recognized expert in identifying the business needs of an organization in order to determine business solutions. CBAP™s are acknowledged as competent individuals performing a role which is increasingly recognized as a vital component of any successful project. Certification candidates are not required to be IIBA™ members in order to take the certification examination. This certification program is targeted at intermediate and senior Business Analysts only. Visit the IIBA™certification page for more information on the examination.

The IIBA Portland Metro Chapter is hosting an accelerated exam prep class to prepare for either the Certified Business Analysis Professional® (CBAP®) or Certification of Competency in Business Analysis® (CCBA®) exam. The prep class meets all of the criteria for the 21 hours of Professional Development required to sit for the exam.
